Chapter 155 Finding Your Mind
After walking for half an hour, Ding Er raised his finger and pointed to the front and said, "My lord, it's there, it's there."

Chu Liangrao raised his eyes and saw the tall and lush forest not far away, and a simple small temple could be vaguely seen under the shade of the trees.There are green ivy climbing on the wall, which looks like a world away.

It's such a quiet place, this place looks more like a temple than the place where she used to burn incense.

Before entering the door, Chu Liangrao's curiosity was born in his heart, and he just waited to get off the horse and take a look.

If you get closer, you can hear the sound of brooms passing across the ground. An old monk with a hunchback slowly turned around when he heard the sound of horseshoes. Buddha name.

The old monk was wrinkled and had bags under his eyes. He looked like he was getting old, but he still came out to work, which showed that the situation of this temple was not optimistic.

Chu Liangrao jumped off the horse, handed the reins to Zhou's mother, stepped forward and saluted, "Master, we are passing by here, and we want to go in to worship the Buddhist beads, may I?"

"Your almsgiver, please go ahead." The old monk moved away, and he didn't deliberately flatter him, nor did he ask for money for sesame oil.

This indifferent state of mind made Chu Liangrao stand in awe, and she led Zhou's mother and Ding Er to the temple.

Pushing open the peeling wooden door, Chu Liangrao walked down the steps, looked around and saw that although the place is small and the building is old, there are traces of time precipitation, and the place is clean and tidy, no matter how you look at it, it suits your heart.

While looking at it, Chu Liangrao said, "It's really a good place."

Thinking of Huo Tainan coming here often, Chu Liangrao was satisfied with Huo Tainan's taste. As for the original intention of coming here, she didn't think it was important.Walking into the lobby, Chu Liangrao knelt down on the futon and bowed respectfully to the dimly colored Buddha, then got up and donated all the money he had with him into the merit box.

"My lord, would you like to take a break and go find some water?" Ding Er said.

Chu Liangrao nodded slightly, walked to the small table in the yard and sat down, looking at the green above her head, she said: "The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the meditation room is full of flowers and trees."

As soon as the words fell, a voice praised: "Young master is very talented."

Chu Liangrao didn't expect that there were people there, and when he turned around, he was stunned.

The person on the opposite side was also taken aback, bowed and said: "Xiaosheng's surname is Xiao, I don't know how to call you, young master?"

The person who spoke was Xiao Mingyue Xiao Taiban whom I met on the boat that day. Of course, Chu Liangrao would not reveal his name, but only introduced himself: "Miangui's surname is Lin."

"It turned out to be Young Master Lin." Xiao Mingyue said with a gentle smile, with a flash of a smile in his eyes, "I didn't expect someone to be as interested in this place as Xiaosheng."

Chu Liangrao didn't have a good opinion of Xiao Mingyue who showed his favor, so when he heard him say that, he just smiled and said, "Yes."

Seeing that the other party didn't deal with her thoughts, Xiao Mingyue said goodbye: "Xiaosheng still has something to ask the Buddha for advice, so don't bother me."

"Please." Chu Liangrao said modestly.

Xiao Mingyue turned sideways, glanced at Chu Liangrao with great interest, then opened the folding fan and staggered into the lobby.

Ding Er frowned, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this man landed silently, and his every step is as strong as he is. He is a master of inner strength."

The corner of her mouth twitched, and Chu Liangrao said, "In that case, let's go back first." In fact, she also felt that the sudden appearance of Xiao Mingyue was inexplicable. Although she had met him once, they had never met .For some reason, she felt very uncomfortable seeing this person.

After thinking about it carefully, Ding Er suggested: "This person's skill should be comparable to that of the younger ones, so you don't need to rush to avoid him."

Chu Liangrao glanced at him and said, "If you want to praise yourself, just say so, and you still have to make such a big turn."

Ding Er's expression froze, and he said to Chu Liangrao, "My lord, this is not good."

Chu Liangrao stopped teasing him, and said, "I'm afraid there is no vegetarian food for us to eat here. It seems that we have to go back to the city before noon." Although she came to find someone, she didn't want to go hungry. The thing she can't bear to be wronged the most while losing weight is her stomach.

Seeing that Chu Liangrao had made up his mind to go, Ding Er didn't persuade him much, but ordered two guards to bring the horse over.

Chu Liangrao walked out of the small temple, greeted the old monk sweeping the floor, and then left.

Zhou's mother was puzzled, she just came out for a while, why did she have to go back?Thinking about it, she suggested: "Young master, if you don't let mother wait, maybe you can meet her."

"No need, let's come together, come back together." Chu Liangrao mounted the horse, clamped the horse's belly tightly, and the horse under him began to gallop happily.

Ding Er followed closely behind, and Zhou's mother was not far behind, shouting: "Young master, please ride slowly."

A group of people came and went in a hurry without attracting the old monk's attention at all, until Xiao Mingyue walked out of the temple, the old monk's originally cloudy eyes were fully revealed, and he said: "No matter what your purpose is, don't Get involved here."

Xiao Mingyue curled her lips into a smile, full of charms: "What purpose can I have, but to see her, I have always been curious about who moved his heart, who has always been calm." Opening the folding fan and shaking it slowly, he Said, "When I saw her today, I really admired her. Compared with those official ladies who pretend to be serious, this Princess Ning'an is really interesting."

Lowering his eyelids, the sweeping old monk calmed down: "You've seen him before, don't come here again."

"Heh." Xiao Mingyue raised the corners of his lips mockingly, "You think I'm willing to come to your poor place? If I didn't pay for it, do you think you can really be a hermit?"

The old sweeping monk was silent, and the only answer was the sound of sweeping the floor.

Chu Liangrao on horseback naturally had no way of knowing what happened in front of the temple.

A group of people hurried back to the city, with dust flying behind them.

On the way, one person and one rider approached from the opposite side, and there was still a hundred meters away, so he tightened the reins and looked at Chu Liangrao in surprise.

Seeing the person coming, Chu Liangrao twitched the corner of his mouth and pulled the rein. The horse under him rushed more than ten meters with inertia before stopping, and the horse's hooves took a few steps restlessly before gradually becoming stable.

Subconsciously touching his face, Chu Liangrao felt that his makeup should not be so easily seen through.But the man on the other side's burning eyes seemed to be able to see through her, which made her very embarrassed.After thinking about it, if he didn't recognize himself, how could he stop?

This thought made Chu Liangrao blush, the fact of meeting before marriage is... makes people feel uncomfortable.

Ding Er and Zhou's mother glanced at each other, and consciously remained silent, while the two guards had never opened their mouths from the beginning to the end, so naturally they couldn't speak.

Looking at Chu Liangrao, whose earlobes were blushing, Huo Tainan jumped off the horse and led the horse forward, with a helpless and funny look on his face.

As if being treated as a naughty boy, Chu Liangrao wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in. The bold words before had long since been forgotten.It stands to reason that she should get off the horse, but thinking of the frustration of getting off the horse, Chu Liangrao didn't want to be ashamed, so she simply buried her blushing face on the horse's back, not daring to look up to see anyone.

The heart in his chest was thumping and beating non-stop, and when Chu Liangrao felt short of breath, he heard a voice like the sound of nature saying softly, "Come on, I'll support you."

Looking up, I saw Huo Tainan stretching out his hand towards him, his broad palm looked very secure.

Subconsciously stretched out his hand, Chu Liangrao retracted his hand, muttering softly, "I can do it myself."

"I'll support you, it's okay." Huo Tainan persuaded in a soft voice.

Chu Liangrao hesitantly put her hand on his warm palm, a burst of electricity passed from her fingers to her scalp, but she still acted calmly and said, "Then, I'm coming down."

Seeing Huo Tainan nodding, Chu Liangrao got off the horse, not wanting to be too chic and exert too much force, and almost lost his footing when the ground hit the ground.Fortunately, Huo Tainan was supporting her, otherwise she wouldn't know how to lose face at this time.

Withdrawing his hand, Chu Liangrao pretended to be natural and said, "Thank you."

"It's easy to do." Huo Tainan smiled and asked, "Why is the princess dressed like this?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, but being seen through had become a fact, so Chu Liangrao had no choice but to explain: "It's so convenient, I thought no one would recognize it."

Hearing such an explanation, Huo Tainan couldn't help laughing, won't people see it?Obviously obvious, right?

Seeing that the two of them were talking, the attendants at the side took a few steps back to make room.

Seeing that the place where Ding Er was standing was not too far or near, which was just enough to protect Chu Liangrao without being too disturbing, Huo Tainan's original worries were relieved a little, but he was still worried, so he said to Chu Liangrao: "The county chief is looking for I, might as well let someone say it, why make it like this?"

Hearing this, Chu Liangrao's complexion changed slightly. Seeing that Huo Tainan didn't show any contempt, she said, "It's better to meet like this." After speaking, she asked again, "How do you know I'm looking for you?"

Seeing that Chu Liangrao was unwilling to tell the reason, Huo Tainan changed the subject and asked: "Princess, I'm looking for you, what's the matter?"

When it came to business, Chu Liangrao felt embarrassed again, pursed her lips, and said, "I want to know your mind."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Huo Tainan's eyes fell on Chu Liangrao, meeting those serious and persistent eyes, he said: "Do you think that I was instructed by your father to come to propose marriage?"

Opening his mouth in surprise, Chu Liangrao said, "You can guess this?"

"It's not difficult to guess." Huo Tainan said sincerely, "Now, do you still want to know?"

Chu Liangrao nodded solemnly: "Yes, I want to know."

"This is the will of the next person, and has nothing to do with others." Huo Tainan replied.

This answer did not satisfy Chu Liangrao, she asked: "However, we have only met a few times, and we don't know each other very well, and what's more..." Biting her lips, she continued, "Marriage is such a big deal, how can it be a joke .”

"I understand the princess' worries." Huo Tainan said, "The princess has a noble status, and there are not many people who want to marry me. It is God's will to have a chance."

After saying this, Huo Tainan looked at Chu Liangrao's expression again, and seeing her confused face, he said: "I'm not greedy for fame, I'm only happy with you."
